Evolutionary rate in the protein interaction network
- Science
"... High-throughput screens have begun to reveal the protein interaction network that underpins most cellular functions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. How the organization of this network affects the evolution of the proteins that compose it is a fundamental question in molecular evolution. We s ..."

show that the connectivity of well-conserved proteins in the network is negatively correlated with their rate of evolution. Proteins with more interactors evolve more slowly not because they are more important to the organism, but because a greater proportion of the protein is directly involved in its
A gene-coexpression network for global discovery of conserved genetic modules
- Science
, 2003
"... To elucidate gene function on a global scale, we identified pairs of genes that are coexpressed over 3182 DNA microarrays from humans, flies, worms, and yeast. We found 22,163 such coexpression relationships, each of which has been conserved across evolution. This conservation implies that the coexp ..."

Characterization of a functionally important and evolutionarily well-conserved epitope mapped to the short consensus repeats of E-selectin and L-selectin
, 1992
"... Sdectins represent a new family of adhesion molecules, expressed by leukocytes and endothelial cells, that are involved in the regulation of leukocyte traffic. Here we have characterized a new monoclonal antibody (mAb) (EI.-246) that recognizes both human leukocyte I~selectin (previously called LAM- ..."

Sequence analysis Predicting DNA recognition by Cys2His2 zinc finger proteins
, 2008
"... Motivation: Cys2His2 zinc finger (ZF) proteins represent the largest class of eukaryotic transcription factors. Their modular structure and well-conserved protein–DNA interface allow the development of computational approaches for predicting their DNA-binding preferences even when no binding sites a ..."

How well is enzyme function conserved as a function of pairwise sequence identity
- J. Mol. Biol
, 2003
"... Enzyme function conservation has been used to derive the threshold of sequence identity necessary to transfer function from a protein of known function to an unknown protein. Using pairwise sequence comparison, several studies suggested that when the sequence identity is above 40%, enzyme function i ..."

Evidence for a Golgi-to-Endosome Protein Sorting Pathway in Plasmodium falciparum
, 2014
"... During the asexual intraerythrocytic stage, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum must traffic newly-synthesized proteins to a broad array of destinations within and beyond the parasite’s plasma membrane. In this study, we have localized two well-conserved protein components of eukaryotic endos ..."

SYMPOSIUM Evidence for the Local Evolution of Mechanisms Underlying Limb Regeneration in Salamanders
"... Synopsis The most extensive regenerative ability in adult vertebrates is found in the salamanders. Although it is often suggested that regeneration is an ancestral property for vertebrates, our studies on the cell-surface three-finger-protein Prod 1 provide clear evidence for the importance of local ..."

Environmental stress is a proteotoxic insult to the cell, which leads to chaperone (heat shock protein, stress protein) induction ..."

"... Dna2 is a well-conserved protein from yeast to human, and we first demonstrate that Xenopus Dna2 is indeed a helicase-nuclease, as in yeast and human. Since previous work indicated a role for Dna2 in Xenopus DNA replication (Liu et al, 2000), the association of Dna2 with chromatin in S phase was fir ..."
